Well, not directly me but indirectly yes. I do a bit of headhunting for friends and family and one of my close relatives is the sales lead in their company's local site. This relative has been trying to land a deal with a customer and needed to hire a person or two to work as subcontractors for this customer. After a few months of finding no suitable applicants, they asked me for help. I managed to find a few candidates with the very specific skills required for the project and moved forward with one of them. This company's recruitment is done by another site, not the local one my relative works at and they were so impressed with the prospective hire that they coaxed them to relocate to the city where the other site is located. Basically, the hire got poached as this is work that can't be done remotely and HQ wanted the hire for themselves. My relative got their recruitment bonus which is approx 1/5th of their monthly salary. The reason I'm a bit miffed is because my relative would've gotten around 2-3 X their monthly salary as bonuses and comission from the deal that they still can't finalize.
